Get Bright Results With Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our gentle yet thorough teeth cleaning services remove plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your teeth sparkling and your breath fresh. These cleanings promote a brighter appearance and set the stage for the best possible results from teeth whitening treatments, should you desire them.
Why Regular Teeth Cleanings Matter
Plaque and tartar are the silent enemies of a healthy smile. Plaque is a sticky film that forms on teeth from food particles and bacteria. Left unchecked, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a professional cleaning. Plaque and tartar harbor harmful bacteria contributing to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Regular teeth cleanings, typically recommended every six months, remove plaque and tartar before they can cause damage.
What to Expect During the Teeth Cleaning Process
Our experienced and gentle hygienists prioritize your comfort throughout the cleaning process. Here’s a typical breakdown of what to expect:
Oral Examination
We begin with visually examining your teeth and gums to check for any signs of problems.
Plaque and Tartar Removal
Using specialized tools, our hygienist will meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, even in hard-to-reach areas.
Flossing
We'll floss your teeth to remove any remaining plaque and debris between your teeth and gums, helping to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Teeth Polishing
Gentle polishing removes surface stains and makes teeth smooth and clean. This procedure is often performed after scaling to remove residual plaque or tartar.
